Chapter 357:

Gerry leaned forward, resting his hands on his knees, and pulled out his phone.

“What is Alicia into these days? Cooking can be exhausting.

I should offer her something as a gesture of gratitude.”

Caden found himself momentarily speechless.

It felt as though he had been struck by Gerry’s words, as if he were accusing him of neglecting Alicia.

“Sure, ask her what she enjoys,” Caden replied, his voice steady.

If Gerry got an answer, Caden resolved to send her a gift first.

Gerry dialed Alicia’s number, but she didn’t pick up.

“What’s going on? She didn’t answer,” he remarked.

Caden replied, “She’s been a bit down lately.

You might need to call a few more times and say something kind.”

“What’s troubling her?” Gerry asked.

“She usually has such a good temper.

What kind of jerk could make her so upset that she won’t even pick up her phone?”
